[MIUI][Problem] Theme problems - Desire Themes and Apps

I recently flashed my Desire with MIUI and have tried some themes but they don't work fully.
I downloaded the WP7 Dark-Theme from this tread, put the .mtz-file in SD\MIUI\theme and chose it via Theme Manager but when it's loaded nothing changes, except the bootscreen.
I've tried some other themes and rebooting my phone but many of them doesn't work at all.
I've also tried to back up, uninstall and re-install "theme.apk".
What am I doing wrong?

Restart your launcher. If you don't know how to that, restart your phone. (or try using fast reboot app, it might help with quick restart)

mate you don't need to copy it to miui just anywhere on the card then in themes press menu then select import from sd card then it will copy to proper place and convert it to working version as that them is old and don't work with latest version. also make sure you use the newest version so there is no problem there

I've tried your tips now but they're not working. Got any other solutions?
Also, alot of the stock themes included in MIUI don't work.

My current version of "Theme" is 0,7. Is it the latest?

Installed new theme: market crashing..wtf!?

Hey guys i'm running the current cyanogen mod on my mytouch. I just in the past two days attempted to change the theme. once i did i couldn't download anything from the market, nor could i update any of my apps. each time i do it downloads to 100% (or so it says) and then it asks to force close. I've attempted to reboot my phone and change themes. i'm running the system force theme by prash
any suggestions? i'm a huge tecky but i'm new to this phone so any suggestions would help.
thanks for all your help!
I've had similar problems when I played with the themes. CyanogenMod never caused me problems though. If I remember correctly, I did this for another Rom and it worked. Go into recovery, -> Other -> Fix UID mismatches or something like that. (It might help...? I'm not sure) By the way how did you put on prashes theme? Did you just flash a zip file?

Try opening terminal and type:

fix_permissions
Then reboot phone.
FYI: Not sure what theme you're using, but sometimes themes break things. I personally don't use them.

Live Wallpapers - How to

See here for Live Wallapers.
Not in Sense yet

As far as I can see, Live Wallpapers are not going to work until someone bakes a custom rom. The Live wallpaper picker just force closes on selection. So, unless I failed at installing the live wallpapers and the picker...

What launcher are you using? Did you try ADW or Launcher Pro? did you also load livewallpapers.apk?
I loaded livewallpapers.apk and the livewallapaerspicker.apk
I tried with Sense and sweeterhome
But I think I need to load the .SO files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837
But I have to find a different SD card because I can't get into recovery mode with my 8gb sd card.
(I left my 2gb at home)
ADW gave me the same problem.
I was able to adb remount since I pushed your clean update
But now I am getting "out of memory" when I try to push the SO files.
So I guess I will have to do the push in restore mode.

Let me know if you can figure out a way to get it running in Sense. I still haven't gotten my Aria (due to show up on Monday), but the lack of wallpapers is the one thing I was disappointed with.
Well I have live wallpapers working on my aria right now in alternate launchers like adw and launcher pro.
Pulled the files from a custom rom that adds live wallpapers for legend then rebuilt them into a rom I'm working on stripped of at&t crap. Did not replace the rosie apk since at this time tha just crashed htc.launcher.
This is a fun little phone.

Hey Bob, did you find a way to fix the non-market apps toggle in settings? I am working on a modified spare parts type deal to do that now, but if you already have a fix, I am all ears. Funny, AT&T didn't like the name Liberty. How fitting that they chose not to use it.
we really should open an IRC channel
The real question is there a way to do Live Wallpapers & Sense at the same time.
I know I am being picky, but I want my tech the way I want my tech.

There is a way since the rom i stole the stuff from was for the legend and Sense its just the version of sense that was in the rom is not compatible with our rom.
I havent even started looking into the Sense APK file yet but figure with live wallpapers working correctly i just got to figure out how to disable normal wallpapers in sense to make them work.

I havent worked at all on the market toggle, i figure since we can sideload the settings.db file and it works its very low on my care list. All i worked on today was stripping out what i didnt like and trying to make a nice clean rom that had all the default files i wanted in it (google voice, pandora, etc..). Just happened to also play with the live wallpapers and found it worked on the way home when i tried a new launcher.

If you make a zipfile of the livewallpaper files and post them, I'd appreciate it.

Yes, Please and Thank You
Yeah all the files are on my work machine so I will do that in a bit later. Will put it into a zip able to be recovered into an existing rooted aria so anyone can add them.

Update file for adding LWP to Aria
6/28/10 - Updated to allow LWP in the Sense UI
* This assumes you have your phone rooted and have access to the Clockwork Mod to allow updating your phone with unsigned zip files *
1.) Put the file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod
4.) install zip from sdcard (option 5)
5.) choose zip from sdcard (option 2)
6.) Click on the file you downloaded and put on your sdcard
6a.) If you run into an error when installing shut off your phone,, unplug it from the USB cable, then reboot it back into Clockwork Mod and start again from step 2
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system
8.) Upon reboot you can now choose Live Wallpaper in the wallpaper options
*Issues*
The only issue that I know of at this time is you have to use the settings/personalize/lock screen wallpaper option in order to change the lockscreen wallpaper
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.
*Files*
Clean install of the LWP packages
Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP
Update install of the LWP packages
Select this if you used the previous version with LauncherPro and Home Switcher. This will remove those packages and update to the Sense Enabled LWP.
Thanks! I just flashed it and it works great. There's Absolutely no loss with performance with it either.

* if this file downloads under a different name just rename it to aria-lwp.zip, first time using Mediafire *
Ok lets see if this works =)
1.) Put the aria-lwp.zip file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod using the rooting methods in the how to root your aria thread
3.) Go to the Partitions Menu and select the first option (mount /system)
4.) Go back to the main menu and choose to install a zip file
5.) Choose the option to install a zip from the SD Card
6.) Click on the aria-lwp.zip file
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system.
8.) Upon reboot the home menu should pop up asking you to choose which home menu to launch. Choose the LauncherPro option.
9.) Go into the wallpaper options and choose your live wallpaper, it should work with no issues.
10.) Set up your new launcher, refer to any Launcher Pro threads for more info on this nice replacement launcher.
At anytime you can use the home switcher program to go back to the HTC Sense launcher if you want to use that instead. Same with setting up which launcher is used by default when you press the home button.
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.

Any chance we'll ever get this working in Sense?
Well, that didn't work.
I am still getting force quit
I might needs to do a clean flash.
Ok, I got stock to run, but I also want to get rid of the lockscreen and make it default as well. Any ideas?
Ok, reflashed with the clean install and it worked.

LWP?

I am trying to get the live WallPapers to work and I am having no sucess. I managed to install a Livewallpaper. apk and I can view the livewallpapers already installed on the phone but when I click one I get an error message saying: "The application Live Wallpaper Picker (process.android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" I am rooted, using attn1's rom and can download third party app without adb. Can anyone help?

I cannot post links because i havnt been here long but i did this and it worked for me. this is from a post on this forum
i did that but i still cant have live wallpaper keeps giving me error on all of them.
did you do a clean install or the update?
i did it clean and it works fine for me, then again maybe im running a different rom. I have unrevokeds rom from used in the basic how to root aria thread didnt see any reason to use anything else. cat see your error it looks like this:
if you're running attn1s Liberated Aria rom, then the method scristopher quoted is the only known way to get live wallpapers installed onto the aria running sense. the entire thread about live wallpapers is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6953168&postcount=14
i have them working using the first clean install method as well.
ok i have no idea what i just did but after messing around in htc eris and nexus one's fourms and spending 30 min in Clockwork I think I have lwp... only problem.. when I touch the left of the screen in the nexus wallpaper the colors appear in the middle... my wallpaper is zoomed in....

Samsung Themes Like Batman Injustice and Olympic Edition Dont Stick After Reboot

I have the Sac Note7 Port V4 on my S7 edge . I have read a lot of threads , tried all the methods but these themes dont stick after reboot.
I have tried moving trial json file to userjson folder in data/overlays . this used to work in previous firmwares which had old security patch but now even after this i have to reapply these themes after reboot
i have tried renaming themecenter.apk and galaxythemes.apk in priv/app folders that also doesnt work.theme stays only till i reboot
I have tried titanium backup to freeze but themecenter.apk can neither be force stopped nor you can freeze it anymore.
I have ran out of all options. I really like these themes and only option left is to revert back to an old firmware with old security patch. for example phoenix rom v 1.0 and somewhat V2.0 these themes work fine after reboot
is there a way to roll back security patch by samsung or anyother way. any help will be appreciated
Well after countless reboots and things. i finally got it solved. Now the theme sticks at reboot. I have found the solution now the issue is resolved....
Mods : Please close the thread. thanks
Hi,
Can you please post the solution to the problem in case someone else needs it in the future? Also to request your thread to be closed, report your own thread with the reason "other" and tell them why your thread should be closed .
All the best,

Ok sure , The issue was themes not sticking and were reverting to default theme
Well i didnt have to do this in lollipop days. in those days it used to be like this
1. Install the theme .
2. move data/overlays/trial Json to user Json folder
3. wipe data and cache both of themes 2.0.0.0 and themes center apks via titanium backup
3. Delete preference folder as well
5. Reboot
Since Marshmallow i had problems that themes installed manually didnt stick. well the problem was neither with security patches nor with any theme. There is a folder in overlays named resource-cache, which apparently stores cache of the applied theme.
If your are like me deleting and installing themes frequently. with following above mentioned procedure also delete all cached files as well when u install new themes and they dont stick on reboot
This will keep the themes working even after rebooting the device
ofcourse for all this u have to be rooted
About closing thread that was only asked by me as i asked this question and since it got resolved.
i dont mind if it stays open.
